Be Alive

Liner Notes
Sometimes I just need to take a break away from the issues and troubles that plague the world. I decided to write a "mindless" danceable tune in the style of Michael Franti (who puts on a very fun concert, BTW).
My workstation keyboard has a ton of built-in rhythms, which you can use just as percussion, or add full instrumentation by playing a few notes. I used the 'synth-pop' setting, and the only added instruments are rhythm electric guitar, lead guitar, bass in the intro and the 'gong' at the end. Definitely fun to work outside my usual 'genre'.

Lyrics
Be Alive ©2022 Michael J Birch
Don’t be sad if it’s raining
When you wake up Monday morning
If the weather was always the same
Wouldn’t it be boring
Some sun, a little rain
Snow, sleet, some sun again
Let’s just make it a great day!
Live live live, be alive
Live live live, be alive
Television, internet, radio
Full of nothing but bad news
Craziness is everywhere around you
It’s time to cut loose
Some music, a little dance
Some more music, take a chance
And just make it a great day!
Live live live, be alive
Live live live, be alive
Sing sing sing, like you mean it
Dance dance dance, all day long
Sing sing sing, you know you want to
Dance dance dance, sing and dance all day long
Live live live, be alive
Live live live, be alive
